Bethlehem means House of Bread.
How appropriate as the BREAD of Life John 6:35 Bread of Life. would be born in Bethlehem numerous generations after Naomi returned home with her daughter-in-law Ruth.
People purported to be more learned than I say Naomi left Bethlehem for Moab in 1294 BC. And that she returned along with Ruth in 1284 BC. (source)
That’s numerous generations before Joseph and Mary journeyed to Bethlehem for the census, making sure the prophecy would be fulfilled. Yeshua was born in Bethlehem.
I hope you are encouraged today to know ALL the prophecies of GOD come to be, always have, and always will.
Boaz.
Their Kinsman Redeemer. A man of honor. Read a portion of what he said to Ruth that day she came to his field.
11 Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before. 12 May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.” source
I see him as a gentle, thoughtful, resourceful man; not prone to rash decisions, but rather one who investigates matters thoroughly and then takes action.
Do you see that about him in these verses?
Until Next Time, Kathie
